This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Kent we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of people not understanding the way to use it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will often cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations very expediently.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Kent to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, if we can reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Tonbridge (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to fix the usual problems which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Tonbridge - Tonbridge Wrong Fuel

A gentleman phoned us from his place on a road in Tonbridge. He exclaimed, "My car (a Nissan) is not starting up and is making very bad sounds when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We got there quickly, carried out the drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
